Above: some pictures of The Guardian
I should say the start of the week had been brilliant, fantastic, fun, thrilling & just so enjoyable! Why did I say so? Well, because on Monday I was invited to go and watch moive @ Vivocity! Hmm, but a lil' sad thing is that we (Yiying, Zenia & Grace) did not have time to go around the whole mall. In fact, we were a lil' late, but when we went in, it was just the commercial. Lucky us! =) We caught: The Guardian.
The Guardian is a very touching moive. The whole storyline is trying to tell us how the legend in the sea came about. The strength that fishermen felt to tell them to hold on, to perservere. Let me just say a lil' of how the whole show is like.
Ben Randall is the legendary rescue swimmer. From the start of his career till his end, he lost 22 lives. A mishap happened during one of the rescue operations. Randall lost his crew in a fatal crash. Then, he was sent to "A" school- it's a school which trains people to become Coast Guard rescue swimmers. The training that they have to go through is super tough! (shall say the one that left the deepest impression in me later) Randall throws himself into teaching, turning the programme upside down using his own training methods(simply because he felt that the training methods used did not really prepapre the trainees enough for the real circumstance that they have to face in the dangerous sea). Okay, then it was there that he met this young man, Jake Fischer(nicknamed Goldfish), who is driven to be the best and who is driven to break Randall's record, which he did eventually, during the record-breaking day. I don't know how to put it, but to me. I feel that Jake has a frightening, traumatic and sad past when he was a swim champ. It's painful.
It's really a very very very nice movie. Go catch it and you'll know the whole story in detail =D After watching it, I feel like buying the VCD when it comes out. Heh =D
Oh yes, the training method by Randall which left the deepest impression in me was the one where everyone was in a tub of water & Randall actually threw in cube/sheets of ice into the water. And they have to stay there for 2 minutes plus. That is madness. It's so cold, and you can see everybody chattering but they endured it because if they did not, they will fail and immediately, got to be sent home. So tough~

For the past 3 days, I have been going for a Theory course @ St. Hilda's Secondary. Well, I guess it has been pretty fine. Honestly, it's really quite mind-drilling. Each session lasts for 3 hours so for 3 days, it has been 9 hours of theory. Madness? I think a lil' bit. Haha =) But one thing that is good, is that the teacher isn't boring. Teachers play an important role for their student's education, right? So, for the past 3 days, I'm sure everyone did survived ;) On the way back home, I was looking around the walls of the school, and I came across this sentence. I feel that it's very, inspirational in a sense. "Don't limit your challenges, challenge your limits."
And yesterday was the MegaCamp dialogue session. Yesterday had been a very long day for me, theory course, cca and the dialogue session. Anyhow, the session had been fine. Jill is one funny girl. I had fun doing ushering with her. Haha =D
Oh, and one thing happenend. While going back home, Myra & Zara were in the back of the car (just went for dog run) then while playing or smtg, Myra's right hind leg was stuck at one of the gaps in between the chairs. It's super painful! She was howling and howling. I hear her howl, I felt so scared I didn't know what to do. I didn't dare to take out the whole leg. I scared pain. Then in the end, Daddy stop the car and saved her. I was just panicking the whole time. I seriously didn't know what to do. But thank God, her leg is better today =) I just pray that her leg will recover fully, and quickly.
